His daughter, my aunt, has a last remnant of the store, a countertop display jar for nickel bags of roasted peanuts.
Bottom of the jar says Property of Tom Huston Peanut Company, Columbus, Georgia, but the lid was imprinted with another snack company's name, Lance. The lids seemed to have been switched with another jar. Maybe my Uncle Ping has it.
fr Wikipedia: Tom's Snacks was founded in 1925 and sold several times before Lance, another snack company founded 1913, bought Tom's in 2005. Lance merged with Snyder's in 2010 to become the nation's second-largest snack company. Snyder's-Lance is owned by Campbell's as of 2018.
